Have nothing in your houses which you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.—William Morris
Believing that art could and should find expression in utilitarian objects that could be enjoyed as part of everyday life, William Morris worked in a wide range of fields, including textiles, furniture, tiles, glass, and wallpaper. His sensibility dramatically influenced typography, printing, and interior design. His genius shone particularly brightly in the design of complex, balanced, intricately repetitive floral patterns applicable to textiles and wallpaper—as represented in these notecards.

A leader in the styles and politics of his time, William Morris viewed his patterns as both an art form and a means of social commentary. In response to the industrial designs and manufacturing of the Machine Age, he and his counterparts at Morris & Co.—some of whose designs are also featured on these notecards—created wallpapers and fabrics that boasted natural floral motifs and handmade craftmanship.
